Oval Logo looking strange
Hi all,
I have been getting some less than optimal results while dealing with a logo that is sort of in an oval shape. The client sent me an .eps file, which I converted into a tiff, imported into photoshop, adjusted it for square pixels, scaled the Logo to roughly the size it will be on screen, knocked out the background, and saved it as a TIFF. The problem is that I get this stairstep look along the edge of the oval portion, while viewing on the NTSC monitor it is REALLY bad. But it is even noticable on my computer monitor in FCP, it looks fine in Photoshop. Can somebody help me figure this out?
Thanks

When you say you scaled it to the size you want it in the video, did you scale it *up* in size?

Thanks Ed,
Sorry…No, I meant I scaled it down to the size I needed it in FCP. I’ve noticed that scaling down a large graphic in FCP actually looks worse than what I am seeing with this graphic. So I try to scale things in PS, then have multiple versions if I need them.

Thanks Dave,
I had already tried importing the eps directly into PS originally…(That being my usual procedure), but I still get the same result…I am actually using a tiff with transparency enabled, and it’s not just on the edge, but also within the logo…I have a wierd feeling that this is just how FCP deals with circular graphics because I looked at how it deals with it’s own internal circle generator and it looks the same when it is scaled down pretty small…very unfortunate….I love FCP, but sometimes it lets me down.

You’ll do better to resize it in Illustrator since it is a vector graphic. That will give you your cleanest edges at any size.
